papacito Posted September 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Do they still sell them in gift shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzVinnieCruz Posted September 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Yes they do.... My DW loves Phillip Stein watches. Just make sure that if you purchase one on the ship it is declared upon returning. Princess will provide a list of large purchases to customs.

Rare Hlitner Posted September 27, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2016 My only advice about Phillip Stein is that you should browse the internet for prices and selection before you spend your money onboard. The watches are heavily discounted on multiple websites (i.e. Overstock, ebay, etc). In many cases you can find what you want for less money....and have some recourse if there is later a problem.

easyboy Posted September 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Do they still sell them in gift shop? On the Emerald this year, they still sell the PS. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Angel edition for half price :D Ditto!! If you know what you want. Buy it on the first or second day of the cruise and you can get a 10% discount. If you are elite you receive another 10% off.

Hank If you do decide to buy online just be careful. First there are a lot of fakes out there and if the dealer you are buying from is not a Phillip Stein authorized dealer the warranty is null and void.

san diego sue Posted September 28, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I don't understand why you have to declare at customs.Not purchased in a foreign country. Please explain. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfb4cruzing Posted September 28, 2016 #10 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Last Princess trip, had my Citizen Eco Drive, for the price my local jeweler cut for me. I was surprised at the very decent price on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkieRools Posted September 28, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I don't understand why you have to declare at customs.Not purchased in a foreign country.

CruzVinnieCruz Posted September 28, 2016 #12 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) I don't understand why you have to declare at customs.Not purchased in a foreign country. Please explain.Thanks When you buy expensive items on the ship duty free it doesn't mean there is not duty due, just that no duty had be paid an therefore would not be reflected in the ships price. Customs will already know the value of the piece purchased and if its not declared you will pay duty and maybe a penalty. The declaration form that is filled out states to list all items that were purchased then depending on where the item was purchased, ports visited, etc. exemptions and allowances are applied to determine the duty amount owed if any. The rules are applied to all purchases not just what was bought in a foreign country.

stevea20 Posted September 28, 2016 #13 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I've never seen these watches in the shops. I got mine on St. Thomas in a DI store. Love the watch and it included a sleep band my wife uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san diego sue Posted September 28, 2016 #14 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thanks for explanation CruzVinnieCruz regarding Duty. SharkieRool- I know it is a foreign flagged ship but my billing on Princess comes from U.S. (Santa Clarita)not Bermuda. Does Princess report their sales on board to U.S. customs with our names etc. For me wouldn't be a problem because we never buy real expensive items on board the ship. However, last cruise I did buy about $300.00 worth of merchandise.Of course that didn't exceed the allowance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why all cruise passengers disembarking in US ports are required to fill-out and submit the Customs Declaration form. Exemption limits for US residents and visitors are at the back of the form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know what that threshold is though and it may vary. Take care, Vinnie Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of where it is billed, you are bringing goods obtained outside of the country into the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
